It's all in the timing: vegetative phase change alters selection under drought and contributes to local adaptation.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The timing of developmental transitions is critical for environmental adaptation, allowing organisms to align stress tolerant and sensitive stages with harsh and benign periods, respectively. This timing across seasons (i.e. phenology) is often under spatially-varying selection across climate gradients, and species often exhibit genetic clines in phenology. Clines for transitions like germination and flowering time are well documented; less is known about the juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase change (VPC) - a conserved (among plants) yet visually subtle developmental transition marked by changes in leaf morphology and physiology. Alternatively, developmental tradeoffs can reduce fitness differences between genotypes and promote diversity within populations. Here, we tested 158 diverse genotypes of
